About Me

I am a screen printer by trade and have printed on T-shirts / paper
metals and vinyls, I think i have always loved playing with colours and creating.
I started scrapbooking in November 2006
My favourite layouts are heritage/distressed type layouts, I love to capture the mood and fell for all things old but loved. Scrapbooking started out as a way to preserve my families history and grew into something much more.
I now do altered art and mixed media . I love the social side,going to crops
and camps i get to meet and make friends that i would never have meet otherwise,

Ok here's my first 2 pages the top one is the second page, i had a little trouble ,the paper got a wave through it but its still ok, the first page is nice and smooth, I'm not sure if it was the sealer i used that caused this to happen. would love your feed back and ideas on how to stop the paper from getting that wave thing happening.

The Altered Book i am working on is looking ok so far, I am having lots of fun trying out a few new things,its my older sisters birthday on the 5 Aug so i decided to theme it towards her. I had intended to do an album for her, but still haven't got all the photos together for it , so I'm hoping it turns out presentable. I will try and load a picture of it tomorrow and would love your feed back as i don't wont to give her a dud lol.Over all its been a pretty chaotic day, out to collect hubby from the airport first thing this morning,back home, helped son get sorted with his passport and finding cheep air fairs then back to work,it was a strange day really.

It starts at 8pm on Sunday night and finishes at 9 . I really enjoyed this, you have instructions thrown at you, no time to think about it or humm and harr over it, you just grab what ever is handy and go for it. This is my layout, i missed the start time but managed to get it done.
